Diabetes test

I had it and got diagnosed with it. The one thing I will say is just try and chug the sugar drink thing they give you, it's not horrible but it's just odd 😂

I had it but got the all clear! The sugar drink kind of tastes like a strange lucozade sport, be prepared for the second blood test as it can make you feel very sick and dizzy

I’ve had 3. It’s absolutely fine the worst part is having to fast x

I agree with Jess, chug the drink if you can 🤣 It did make me feel a bit sick after because I don't have a sweet tooth so it was way too sweet for me but it passed quickly. Take something to occupy you, the wait feels like forever!

I had one and got diagnosed with GD. The test itself was fine - just tasted like weak squash. The GD, on the other hand, was horrific.

I had one and also got diagnosed with GD, a few people on my family have diabetes. The drink I wasn't keen on it was quite thick I thought and really sugary. I found the GD to be well managed and ended up going over 40 weeks to be delivered as she wasn't getting big x

Yes! The test itself is not terrible (unless you're terrified of needles as they will get blood twice). The drink isn't horrible either, definitely "chugable". I got diagnosed late with GD (due to my midwife being incompetent). If you do get diagnosed with it - don't spin out. It is absolutely not as bad as it sounds, especially if you find out in good time. It's all about controlling and managing, but they will tell you all about it.
And also - if you get diagnosed with it - it's not about you. It's about the hormones produced by the placenta. So don't go blaming yourself.
You will be fine!!
